Tarps are great, easy to use, easy to carry, and very versatile. The Särmä TST Tarp follows the basic tarp design rules but is made to meet Finnish military end-user requirements, including NIR-compliant M05 camouflage print. Available in two sizes, larger for 2-3 persons and smaller for 1-2 persons.

We finally got new tarps! These have been scarce as unicorn poop for a long time. These new ones are made in Finland, and the material is a tad bit heavier. Also, we put more webbing loops in the larger tarp – now there are seventeen loops instead on nine!

The larger size, 290 x 290 cm / (114" x 114"), is designed to fit up to three persons sleeping under it, or two persons + gear if your kit is made from sugar. The smaller size, 250 x 250 cm / (98.5" x 98.5"), is designed to accommodate a single or two persons, although it is only 40 cm / 15.5" shorter and narrower it weighs 25 % less, making it that little bit easier to pack and carry.

These tarps are as-is, no sack or bag is included. However, both of the sizes fit nicely in a 5 liter Särmä TST dry bag (300 cubic inches).
